Notes from Chris

Episode 1229
Interesting question today!

Today’s listener received some free display equipment at a trade show. Can he resell it without worrying, or does this create an ethical dilemma?

More broadly speaking, can you resell items you get for free?
"My question is, can I resell something I receive for free? I worked at a trade show and two of the booths next to me said they didn’t need some of their display equipment. I asked if I could take it and they said “Sure!” But I didn’t tell them I was going to try reselling it … now I’m wondering if I have an ethical obligation to be clear about that when buying items or taking free stuff like at the trade show. Looking forward to hearing from you."
